VISION

 
Lifting up Christ – bringing hope and healing to our community and the world
 
 “When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to me.” – (John 12:32)

When Jesus spoke these words from John’s gospel, he was referring to his sacrificial act of love through his death on the cross. Through faith in Jesus, our relationship with God, others, ourselves, and all of creation is redeemed, reconciled, and made new. Out of gratitude for the difference Jesus makes in our lives, we lift high His name and join Him in His work of bringing love, hope, and healing to our community and the world.
